More connectors with and without cable on request. Take a look at data sheet STEM16 for connector without cable or STKM16 for connector
with cable.

For higher quantities or on-going demand, additional options are available as described below on request for example:
ƒƒ Cable assemblies with and without connector
ƒƒ Special probe, special axis length and much mores

Please note for the type with >100 mm displacement: For a horizontal installation, the sensor housing must be stabilized additionally. An axial
alignment must be ensured. Otherwise the sensor could bend due to its own weight! We recommend to use 3 mounting brackets.
